UPDATE:

The tweet announcing the tour from the official Eric B and Rakim Twitter account has since been deleted. No word as to why yet as fans have been seen online purchasing tickets for their upcoming shows hopefully this doesn't mean trouble for the upcoming tour.

That's right the legendary Hip-Hop duo Eric B. & Rakim are reuniting for their first tour in over 25 years! The 17 date US tour announcement was made Tuesday morning on Twitter. The twitter account for the duo has faced some issues in the past with hackers taking over the account but it looks as if they now have complete control over everything. In a statement to assure their fans that this tour is the real deal they said:

“We #TakingBackTwitter and that’s just the start. When we tweet its real news. But rather then 140 characters that lands on every hip-hop magazine and website in the world, we gonna SHOW you what we mean. It’s just the beginning. More updates to follow [the leader].”

Although this is the first time the duo will be back on an official tour together in over two decades, last year they did have a reunion performance to celebrate the 30th anniversary of their debut album "Paid in Full". The reunion tour is set to kick off early April in Boston and will stop in cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Philadelphia.
